Some truth, some not.
Depression is a real disease. I didn't believe in it until I started suffering from it myself. It was bad. I contemplated suicide. And I was anxious all the time. I started taking Zoloft soon after. I'm not totally happy, but I'm better. I can get through daily life, and I have hope for the future again.
Believe me people, sometimes medications can be helpful. If you don't want to take meds, that's fine, it's your decision. But there are solid arguments for depression meds. I am one example.
